5 out of 5 starsReally lovely design and a quality card, which I'm really pleased with. Tempted to frame it rather than use it as like the picture so much.

About BeaksandBobbins

Mum and I at the Knitting and Stitching Show.
Welcome to Beaks and Bobbins!
Hello and welcome to our shop! We are a small family business based near York in North Yorkshire.
We create original illustrative embroideries using layered collages of torn and cut fabrics which are then stitched into using stranded cottons, silks and textured yarns.
We started by using the embroideries as designs to print greetings cards and fabric. However after feedback from customers wanting to stitch the designs themselves, we started to develop our steadily increasing range of kits.
Our designs are inspired by nature and we endeavor to do as much as we can to protect it by using compostable and biodegradable packaging and organic fabrics.
We hope you enjoy looking around and please don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything we can help with.

Shop policies
I create hand embroideries using a wide range of materials. A lot of the pieces use material that have been given to me or found and I often like to use such materials as a starting point, collecting a palette of textures and colours around them.
I love being able to use bits of fabric that have had a previous life and being able to turn them into something new rather than them being simply thrown away, wasted and forgotten.
